Check oil level
Drive the bus until the gearbox has reached normal working
temperature, in other words at least 60°C. (Gearbox oil nor-
mally has approximately the same temperature as the bus
coolant.) Stop on a level surface, engage the handbrake
and let the engine idle with the gear selector in the N posi-
tion.
Wipe the dipstick dry and with the engine running measure
the oil level in the usual way. The oil level should be be-
tween the marks on the dipstick. Top up with the necessary
amount of oil through the oil filler. The difference between
”min” and ”max” is approximately 2.5 litres.
